No two epic love stories are the same. For Oliver and Felicity, it's quite the long road. What with all the crime-fighting, and super-secret identities, and emotionally-stunted men, and old flames, and meddlesome friends and family. Some goats, too. Picks up right after the end of 'City of Heroes' (2x01).

5 years ago Oliver Queen made a choice to enlist in the Army. Now he's back and things are very different. His parents barely talk, his best friends are dating, and his sister isn't the spirited little girl he remembers. She's grown up and so has her best friend, Felicity Smoak. When a threat is made on Felicity's life, Oliver finds that keeping her at arms length won't be easy.

Damon, a carefree soldier & Elena, a no-nonsense physical therapist at an Army base met under ordinary circumstances. Stuck between attraction and resistance, they struggled to define their relationship until fate made the decision for them. 4 years later a heartbroken Elena battles to make good on a promise when she discovers nothing but the shell of the only man she's ever loved.

Elena is tired of feeling helpless and useless. Damon sees her as so much more, and decides to help her see how strong she is. Eventually they learn there is much more to being the Doppelganger than they thought. Post 3x09.

Set 3 weeks after "As I Lay Dying." Follow Damon and Elena as they grow closer than ever, having been united by a common goal: Finding Stefen. Rated M for future chapters.
